Chapter 234: Did your brother top up money for you?

After resting for a while, Cloud Little Bun sat back down in front of her computer, silently entered Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, and gifted her two "luxury gifts" (luxury gifts).

Amidst Lin Sui's words of thanks, she updated her own homepage bio and Live Streaming Room title to what Lin Sui had previously suggested.

Yan Xing'ai and Lin Sui are invincible under the heavens.

Lin Sui: "..."

She had just been using that as a random example, so she actually used that phrase? Could she hang something else up?

It was a little awkward.

What surprised her even more was that Little Bun was so true to her word?

"Actually, that just now didn't really count as a competition," Lin Sui reminded her. "I didn't really teach you much."

That was true, as far as it went.

But after this session, the reason she hadn't taught much was probably that she felt Yan Xing'ai still needed to practice.

"I am a good sport," Cloud Little Bun said. "Consider it a bit of tuition."

Although it was a one-sided bit of guidance from Lin Sui, overall, there were still some gains.

After all, she really did grasp some techniques from Lin Sui's guidance.

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow. "I just saw that you learned quite well; your comprehension is quite high. When you were on the show, was it... did you have something on your mind?"

She was one step away from pointing out that Little Bun's performance on the show was like a pile of crap.

Little Bun was silent for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth: "I only signed for two episodes; I came to be cannon fodder... If people like us don't pave the way, who is going to be eliminated in the early stages?"

Otherwise, was she an idiot? She was injured and didn't know to get treatment, having to drag it out and drag it out—if it dragged on into a lifelong problem, that wasn't something a little money could solve.

Wasn't this just paving the way for her own elimination?

"Huh?"

Lin Sui really didn't know much about the entertainment industry; after all, as everyone knew, she had only been in it for one day.

She used to think that with a bit of looks and talent, one could make it, but after learning about some unspoken rules from her former boss, she thought she had understood some of the darkness.

She hadn't expected that when participating in a show, there would be such black-box operations as inviting people to be cannon fodder?

Then who was that paving the way for?

Lin Sui tilted her head to look at Yan Xing'ai and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Did your brother top up money for you?"

Could this be the legendary "royal family" treatment?

Yan Xing'ai twitched the corner of her mouth. "Please, you're number one on my voting leaderboard. If we're talking about topping up money, you're the one who topped up for me."

Lin Sui: "..."

That was true, too.

On that voting leaderboard, she hadn't seen Yan Yushu at all.

Which meant he hadn't spent a cent.

Ah... he had spent money once.

That time when he came to her Live Streaming Room to advertise, he had sent quite a few Red Envelopes to the viewers in her Live Streaming Room.

Wasn't that also a form of topping up money?

"Then when you were eliminated, those things you said in the backstage interview...?" Lin Sui asked Cloud Little Bun again.

That was a real, solid implication that Yan Xing'ai was a lousy team leader.

"It's just as you thought. I have no grudge against her, why would I talk about her? Maybe she was in first place and needed some topics for discussion?"

After saying this, Cloud Little Bun prepared to leave. "I can't say any more; if things go wrong, I'll be blacklisted."

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow. "If the entertainment industry doesn't work out, just change paths."

You can still be just as successful.

She herself was a very good example.

Unfortunately, Cloud Little Bun didn't know her at all, let alone her glorious history.

But Little Bun still remembered what Lin Sui said.

She would have to look up this person named Lin Sui later.

Yunduo Xiaopaofu didn't say anything more; she was afraid that if she kept talking, she would end up revealing more of her old secrets.

She hung up the live connection directly.

Lin Sui and Yan Xing'ai looked at each other.

This PK hadn't really been a competition at all, but Yan Xing'ai's fans were quite supportive; while she was practicing her dance seriously, they had tipped quite a bit in the Live Streaming Room.

She had also managed to fleece her manager for over a dozen gifts.

"One more round!"

After the heat of practicing her dance cooled down, Yan Xing'ai was a bit carried away.

She insisted on playing a round of "money-pitting" today.

She wanted to experience that passionate moment of "There's thirty seconds left, everyone hold the line!"

It was just a pity that before Lin Sui could agree, the manager in the shadows coughed lightly and reminded her: "Time's up."

They were only supposed to stream for four hours, and after practicing dance for so long, it was already twelve-thirty—they were over time!

That would be an extra charge!

But considering it was for the sake of dance practice, she could overlook these few hours of overtime.

"Next time," Lin Sui patted Yan Xing'ai on the shoulder.

Yan Xing'ai was still feeling unfulfilled. "Can I come again next time?"

"I'll work hard and strive to get even more popular so that all the stars want to collaborate with me; that way, I can invite you anytime. Your manager shouldn't refuse this kind of traffic."

Lin Sui smiled at her.

Agent: "..."

That is true.

In this internet age, if you want to promote something online, the spread speed of a big internet celebrity is naturally faster.

If Lin Sui were really that famous, let alone her taking the initiative to find Yan Xing'ai, the agent would probably pack Yan Xing'ai up and send her directly into her Live Streaming Room.

"Then it's a deal, I will work harder too! I definitely won't let down the votes you gave me!" Yan Xing'ai said earnestly.

Only then will she have the right to make her own choices.

A mutual effort!

This is an absolute mutual effort!

However, after she finished saying this, Lin Sui and the agent fell into a mysterious silence.

A few seconds later, Lin Sui changed the subject, led Yan Xing'ai in the Live Streaming Room to make a final farewell, and then ended the Live Streaming.

Just after ending the Live Streaming, the agent couldn't wait to drag Yan Xing'ai away.

"Back to the Company first."

"Sis, is it that urgent? Can't we have a late-night snack before leaving?" Yan Xing'ai was still a bit dazed.

It had all been agreed upon that after the Live Streaming, their group would go out for a late-night snack and have a good get-together.

After all, besides Lin Sui, people like Feng Liu and A Fu are all big spenders in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.

They have had friendly interactions.

How could she not even be given this chance for an offline dinner!

"You've already been used as a shield, and you still want to eat? Hurry back and ask what's going on!"

Ever since Cloud Puff finished saying those words, she had realized something was wrong.

If she hadn't known that the Company had no intention of hyping up the sibling relationship between Yan Yushu and Yan Xing'ai, her first reaction would have been the same as Lin Sui's: whether Yan Yushu had topped up money for her.

To let her firmly sit in the number one spot.

A royal on the surface.

In reality, the true royal is someone else.

Want to give the number one spot some buzz? So Cloud Puff, after being eliminated, said words complaining about Yan Xing'ai?

No, it's very likely preparing for the real royal to take the throne later, making Yan Xing'ai explode with a scandal.

She could already imagine what the negative trending searches would be like then, something like how a former teammate said she was a bad person.

Today's audience are all emotional people; if you don't know how to conduct yourself, it will definitely ruin your reputation.

If it reaches the point where she is boycotted by netizens, her number one spot will be hard to maintain no matter how much money is thrown at it.

Their Company knew nothing about this matter.

Although this program was invested in and hosted by their Company, in reality, other companies and the streaming platform were also involved.

It wasn't just their Company alone in charge.

It's really hard to say which side is the one pulling strings behind the scenes.
